# Building
At the moment, TDengine only supports building and running on Linux systems. You can choose to [install from packages](https://www.taosdata.com/en/getting-started/#Install-from-Package) or from the source code. This quick guide is for installation from the source only.
To build TDengine, use [CMake](https://cmake.org/) 2.8 or higher versions in the project directory. Install CMake for example on Ubuntu:
```
sudo apt-get install -y cmake build-essential
To build TDengine, use [CMake](https://cmake.org/) 3.5 or higher versions in the project directory.
